I liked SS2 the best as they improved the graphics enough to make it look good without boosting the game size to ridiculous levels, version 3 was just silly as the game place was identical but they added 100000000 functions that were never used but still had to be installed.

I personally think that the best Sub simulator out there was Command Aces of the Deep, it would have been Silent Hunter but it had a bug that allowed you to sail into some enemy ports and sink the same ships over and over to accumulate tonnage and they never fixed it in any of the 3 other versions.

A moment of pure insanity.

I just went out to the shed and looked through a box of old stuff to see if I still had my Silent Service Disk, Yep,....What's more it was V2, on one of those new fangled Double Density Disks that hold 1.44Mb, but of course, it won't load.

See,... I told you that Windows had ruined "fun" computing.



I guess being an old fart does have some advantages, you have lots of old things hidden away to mess with

ooooooooo... old!

Aaaahhh Yes! but the memories. All of those great little (and I mean LITTLE) programs and utilities. Quick Menu for DOS, Lotus 1-2-3, XTree Gold, Lotus Organizer that fits on one floppy disk. Hell,.... Windows 3.11 only took 8 disks.

You could have two Operating Systems side by side, MS Word, a spreadsheet, database and a Zillion games and have room left from 50Mb.

You "youngsters" don't even know that you are alive

If you can install it try and run it in Windows 95 emulation mode, I have had great success with older games doing that.

hmm... I'd like to try that. I've got a whole bunch of old games (Sam & Max Hit The Road, Wolfenstien 3D, SimCity) and I'd love to play them again, but I know almost for sure that Vista won't put up with that.

I am not sure whether Vista has the option to do that but I know that XP allows you to set the executable to run in Win95/98 emulation mode.

It doesn't work in Windows 95 emulation mode either, I thought that I'd posted that, but obviously I didn't click "Post Quick Reply".

CRAFT has got me again.

Hehe ok next suggestion, download a DOS emulator they took me a little while to figure out but they do work
